Vermont Campus Compact is pleased to announce our inaugural Engaged Campus Forum which will take place on Friday, April 12th in Burlington, Vermont. This new annual event is designed to bring campus and community stakeholders together to learn about, share promising practices to address, and envision new ways to improve, common public challenges. To provide a framework for the event moving forward, this year’s forum will focus on the engaged campus, including:
• What it means to be an engaged campus (definitions, philosophies, standards);
• The engaged campus as a member of the broader Vermont community;
• What an engaged campus implies for our students’ learning and experience;
• Where the engaged campus is situated in current political, philosophical, and historical perspectives;
• How being an engaged campus can address institutional challenges and strategically position a campus for future success.

Keynote Panel
The 2013 Forum will include a keynote panel consisting of leaders from Vermont higher education institutions. The Panel will respond to current trends in the field regarding higher education’s role and responsibility when it comes to fostering democratic engagement among students and engaging in the local community at an institutional level. There will be time for questions and discussion among participants following the formal program. Panel Members include:
– Joseph Bertolino, President of Lyndon State College
– Karen Gross, President of Southern Vermont College
– Brian Reed, Associate Provost for Curricular Affairs at The University of Vermont
